In this study, the impact of the extent of field sprouting of wheat on bread making and bread quality was investigated. Wheat with a flour Falling number (FNflour) down to 200 s was still manageable during bread making on laboratory scale. In contrast, the use of severely sprouted wheat (FNflour below 200 s) resulted in sticky dough and bread with impaired crumb texture, high crumb stickiness, and darker crust color. Loaf volume was positively affected by increased alpha-amylase activity leading to a prolonged dough rise during the baking phase, but excess alpha-amylase activity resulted in collapse of the bread structure. The increased alpha-amylase activity largely hydrolyzes starch during baking resulting in a decreased gel forming capacity of starch during cooling, leading to high crumb stickiness and poor crumb texture. Excessive darkening of the bread crust and dough stickiness was associated with an increase in activity of alpha-amylases and endoxylanases. Peptidases presumably only played a role during dough mixing of sprouted wheat flour. Baking of high enzyme flours due to preharvest sprouting poses a serious challenge to the industry.
